Description:
|
Control the brightness for this <backlight>. Values
|
are between 0 and max_brightness. This file will also
|
show the brightness level stored in the driver, which
|
may not be the actual brightness (see actual_brightness).

Description:
|
The type of interface controlled by <backlight>.
|
"firmware": The driver uses a standard firmware interface
|
"platform": The driver uses a platform-specific interface
|
"raw": The driver controls hardware registers directly
|
|
In the general case, when multiple backlight
|
interfaces are available for a single device, firmware
|
control should be preferred to platform control should
|
be preferred to raw control. Using a firmware
|
interface reduces the probability of confusion with
|
the hardware and the OS independently updating the
|
backlight state. Platform interfaces are mostly a
|
holdover from pre-standardisation of firmware
|
interfaces.
